As one passes through every village or town of Bhutan shaven-headed monks wearing deep burgundy and gold coloured robes whilst crossing the cobbled courtyard of a dzong,  young monks playing football or engaged in daily activities are the most common sightings.

Bhutan’s practice of the Mayahana school of Buddhism is more than just a belief system; it is a way of life. Guru Padmasambhava brought Buddhism to Bhutan for the first time in the eighth century, and as the history of Bhutan shows, several preachers and gurus who came to the kingdom later disseminated its Buddhist heritage. Sakyamuni is the historical Buddha whose teachings are followed in Bhutan; he is pictured sitting cross-legged on a lotus with one hand touching the ground and the other in his lap. This Bhutan tour package’s itinerary begins at the Paro Taktsang/Nest Tiger’s Monastery and Kyichu Lhakhang in Paro and continues to the Changangkha Lhakhang, Tashichho Dzong (fortress), which also serves as the seat of the government of Bhutan, the National Memorial Chorten in Thimphu, the Punakha Dzong, Jambay Lhakhang, and Kurjey Lhakhang of Bumthang. Traveda tour provides you with a guide to understand the historical and religious significance of each of these destinations. This Buddhist pilgrimage journey takes you through four cities: Paro, Thimphu, Punakha, and Bumthang and you get a close-up look at Bhutanese culture and heritage while you travel through breathtaking mountain passes, slopes, and valleys covered in vast flora.
